Did he

Find out? Or was he just fucking around?

No I think that the news coverage of the day settled that question.

Wow

That was the longest the power company had ever left us without electrons.

I am

dead in the water until I get funding for a new power supply. and while I can’t guarantee that a new PSU will work, its better than just sitting here.

I might be on a shoestring

Budget wise, but I’m guessing (with the education that 40 years brings you) that my power supply popped a cap. I can get a 600w psu replacement for ~$45 for a white label thermaltake PSU.

The only problem is I have to hope the PSU didn’t take any components out.
